You can't best a fool (aka John Griffin)



Two sayings come immediately to mind when thinking of John Griffin (aka
"Gerry the Toadie", the even stranger "Sensitive NewAge Guy", and probably
others, depending on which voice in his head that John is listening to on
any given day).

1. "Don't wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it".
Although I have come to find great entertainment value in Johns posts and
now look forward to his daily spew of delusional though he has started to
become repetitive and much too predictable (a polite way of saying
"boring").
I am afraid poor, lovable John has now has exceeded the limit of his
abilities so the best I can look forward to is the same tired old ranting.

Debating with John is reminiscent of an incident, which took place at a high
school debate.
A girl presented her facts first, going into great detail and giving
numerous supporting facts and references.
Her opponent (most likely John) jumped up and screamed at the top of his
voice
"FU** YOU, BITC*!!!!!!"
She was stunned speechless and could only sit there in shock.
He left thinking he had won the debate.
Unfortunately for John, some of us do not shock easily.

2. "You can't best a fool."
As everyone on RGL knew (and I quickly learned) attempts at a rational
debate with John is futile.
John takes his positions by reading and parroting positions that he has
found (or heard) elsewhere. Due to his poor education he is unable to
understand the concepts behind these positions so he parrots them
incorrectly, which leaves him unable to rationally defend them. Being unable
to defend "his" position he resorts to his famous abuse tactics (something
most of us outgrow in our infancy) and his vernacular gymnastics.
To repeat an earlier used example:
John reads (or hears) the statement;
"All Chevrolets are cars."
Johns dysfunctional mind translates this to mean;
"All Chevrolets are cars so all cars must be Chevrolets."

In the weeks that John has attempted to defend his position, he has been
unable to successfully present any valid argument to show how his ramblings
have anything to do with the lottery, as it exists in the real world (as
opposed to the one John has created in his mind).
To the contrary he has shown that he has no understanding as to the concepts
or applications of theatrical or practical mathematics. He does not even
seem to understand there is a difference between the two.
I truly think John's motto is;
"I reject the reality of the word and chose to substitute my own."

I think all have enjoyed his making a fool of himself by attempting to
"trip" me up only to find himself caught, hanging upside down, in his own
snares.
RGL is awash with the wet footprints of John attempting to scurry out of all
the corners he has painted himself into.

This posted, I shall wait, in great anticipation, John to regurgitate his
deranged and often psychotic spew of filth and improperly used and archaic
vernacular ramblings.
